Well as it stands (BETA) it doesn't support anything above 1080 and MAY be scaling into that from 720 anyway - so you'll really hate it :)

That said, Trials isn't about all that wanky nonsense - it's about being a fucking amazing game with an editor which has astonishing capabilities, it would be churlish to throw-the-towel-in on it just because it doesn't live up to your technical expectations...

Driver SF may not have supported all the technical wizbangery either but it was a solid port which played well on a wide range of systems. It plays a damned-sight-better than NFS:MW (a broadly similar game) - for example

If you buy it from UPlay direct, you get a choice of a stack of games 'for free' including Rayman Oranges, HOMM6 Deluxe, Settlers 7 Deluxe, World in Conflict Gold and a few other options (the deal is for any game 19.99EU or more)

Bear in mind that being a UPlay title you will need UPlay but UPlay isn't a download client for purchases other than from Ubi directly so you'll need Capsule, Gamefly's client, Steam or whatever to download it from those sellers and it will install UPlay anyway - e.g. choose your preferred download service (Steam is the only one which auto-updates AFAIK?)

p.s. update, whilst some people are reporting getting the free game, the offer on the International Stores (e.g. non-US) excludes pre-orders and it doesn't seem to work on the UK store specifically - that said, the UBI store is so flakey and slow I'd not really to test it anyway...

So it's one of the most fun games ever made - it has a level editor which enables people to create astonishing things - but because it requires a reasonable check that you're not a pirate, you won't buy it.

I'm glad I'm not developing games at the moment - I might have gotten really depressed at that thought that people want the moon on a stick AND free cake as well...

When historians look back on this period in time, it's entirely possible that they will say "that plague which kicked-off in 2014 caused by people moaning too much was probably deserved - on the whole" :)

It isn't in my book.
And the physics are also not "the nicest physics ever".

I don't want to be forced to make accounts to play games.
I don't want to need a program to run my program (Steam)
I don't want global leaderboard, I just want to play offline by myself.
I don't want to be treated like a pirate when I pay, pirates will get the game anyway.

so let me get this straight: they release this port 10 years after it was launched on the console toybox, and for the same price as Brutal Legend?

I literally don't have the time to waste on these kind of developers.

I'm sorry but what exactly is your problem?

Because Brutal Legend was once expensive (£40 expensive) and was never, ever worth that sort of money (Doublefine games don't really fit the AAA console pricing bracket) Trials (a game which cost 1200pts which is £10ish) should be cheaper than it is/was for what reason exactly?

Trials is a fantastic game - the editor is astonishing and the things people have created a truly excellent (and free to play of course) - it's a fantastic example of how to use online stuff really well and make a game you can play indefinately...

If you (and the earlier DRM hater) miss-out on that because of some perceived slight of pricing (like ALL games it will get cheaper) or because it came from a device you have some irrational hatred of or even because you think it's an "old game" - that's your loss...

p.s. Ironically, we're probably only getting this because of Ubisoft - it's their money which makes the PC port worth doing, RedLynx had said many times that they were focussed on "more profitable platforms" - ironic hardly even covers that!?
